Ultimately, it's irrelevant if I made a mistake with the device name, that won't be the reason why it doesn't work.

As JSWolf pointed out that's a PW3. There are two things that got confused: the generation within Kindles overall, and the sequence/iterations of a particular sub-model. Generations had historically been the number of years since the original Kindle release (for the most part), while iterations are how many sub-models of a particular type have been released. So, while that is in the 7th generation of Kindle, is the 3rd Paperwhite model.

The hardware and firmware between the PW3 and the future actual PW7 will be vastly different, and it really does matter that the name is correct so that you can be given the correct advice on how to handle issues. It's akin to owning something with an old SBC 350 motor and asking how to fix an LS1. They are entirely different motors with different problems and solutions.
